Part 11

20:010:023 It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.

20:010:024 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

20:010:025 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.

20:010:026 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.

20:010:027 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

20:010:028 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

20:010:029 The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

20:010:030 The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.

20:010:031 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.

20:010:032 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.

20:011:001 A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.

20:011:002 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

20:011:003 The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

20:011:004 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.

20:011:005 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

20:011:006 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them: but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.

20:011:007 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth.

20:011:008 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.

20:011:009 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

20:011:010 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.

20:011:011 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

20:011:012 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.

20:011:013 A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.

20:011:014 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

20:011:015 He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.

20:011:016 A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches.

20:011:017 The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.

20:011:018 The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.
